The Marathon

Hey yall! Hope yall had a great week! This week was pretty much just a find grind haha, so not too much happened, but heres a few things:

Highlights:

-Exchange with Elder Araujo!

-Its nice to be in a ward again haha, having member meals and all that haha.

-The ward here is great, its fairly big, and fairly active from what I can tell.

What has been nice this week, has been just the little things the Lord has put into our lives, the little miracles. Each day we feel fulfilled!

A little spiritual thought I had from this week, is this phrase: life's not a sprint, its a marathon. Sometimes in life we want to take the easy way, the flat path, but in reality, its the climb that matters. As much as it sucks, and hurts, its for the better. But thankfully we dont have to go through it alone. Christ is there for us each step of the way. He has experienced how hard it is, and He can give us guidance and direction, and even carry us when we feel like we can't go on any further. The path back to our Heavenly Father is a long path, but it is also the harder path, but by taking it, we can learn from our mistakes, better pace ourselves, and prepare ourselves so that when we arrive back into the presence of God, we will be ready for eternity! Its a great and wonderful gift weve been given, this journey. And let us be grateful this Christmas for the love of our Heavenly Father for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, for us to help us continue on the path, our marathon, and making it all possible. All worth it.

Anyways yall, sorry its not much this week, but that's all! I hope yall have a wonderful week and a fantastic Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Haawa!
